We’re excited to launch our latest video, “Unlocking Hidden Power: A Deep Dive into Piezoelectric Patches and Their Impact” from our Hidden Hydro Learning Platform series.
The video explores how piezoelectric patches—materials that convert mechanical stress into electricity—are driving innovation across industries. It covers:
The piezoelectric effect and how materials like quartz and ceramics generate or respond to voltage.
Key factors affecting power output, including strain, frequency, and material properties.
Advanced modeling using Finite Element Methods (FEM) and real-world testing with cantilever beams.
We highlight our work on harvesting energy from water networks using vortex-induced vibrations—powering IoT sensors for leak detection and smarter water management.
